Overview
The Japanese anglers are a very studious bunch. They are always working on new and creative techniques. The drop shotting technique that the Japanese introduced to America several years back has become a household term in bass fishing recently, and now the Japanese have created a new technique called "INCHI WACKY" or Jig Head Wacky. This technique has taken Japan by storm over the past 12 months and for good reason. Two Japanese Bass Pros, Takuma Hata of Zappu Inc. and Toshiro Ono of Jackall Inc. pioneered the craze.
As the name suggests, it's a very straightforward rig and easy to put into practice.
Benefits of the Rig
1. More distance on every cast.
2. Fish deeper areas more effectively.
3. The bait falls quicker.
4. Easier to keep in contact with the bottom.
5. Most importantly it creates a wicked irregular action that looks exactly like a real worm squirming in the water.

Comments: Absolutely amazing hook-up ratio. I fish the zoom finesse worms wacky rigged in very deep water. They are pricy but worth every penny. Sticky sharp and very durable. Best I've used and I've tried dozens. The hook won't bend out either.

Comments: It was cold today, just back off the lake . . . and I took a single spinning rod/reel, 10bs. braid to an 8 lbs. fluoro leader, a Zappu Inchi Wacky Head and one of the Reins "X" shaped worms (wow!). 3 nice bass, nothing earth shattering but it has been tough here with repetitive cold fronts. My heads are the 3/32s but I plan to order both the 1/16s and the 1/8s and build up a little inventory. Use different weights for different depths of water, changing up fall rates. What I have found is if I make short repetitive casts where I emphasize the fall over working the bottom (dragging, etc.), I generally get more bites. These Zappu Inchi wacky heads are absolutely top quality. They look better, the hooks seem stronger for their size, and they are super sharp. I continue to experiment with other things, like most anglers. But, this is one area I have nailed down and will use these for now on for wacky rigs. 10 out of 10.

Comments: I bought the weedless hooks earlier this week and used them over the weekend. The weed guards are strong and always bend back to their original position. They look cheap, but don't let that fool you. I caught 12 Large mouths and like a million Blue gill using these paired up with the Jackall Flick Shake worms and Zoom Finesse worms. I must say I was impressed with the toughness of these hooks! I caught 8 Large mouths on the same hook and I would have finished off the weekend with it, but I got hung up and lost the hook. Also, these hooks are razor sharp! Just let the bass run with it and the fish hooks itself. The erratic action this hook produces just SLAYS fish. My fishing arsenal is now a lot deadlier thanks to Zappu!
